Yes, HID headlights are very bright but the bigger problem is the proliferation of gargantuan vehicles with 5’+ hood heights so that if you’re driving a normal sized car their headlights are at your eye level rather than seat level like they’re supposed to be.

The Gaza protests not only “provoked intense political conflict.” Liberal and Dem leaders are still calling them antisemites for caring about liberal principles like human rights and international law…and they expect these same kids to come defend liberal democracy!

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

somebody on here suggested awhile back that a pretty compelling 2028 Democrat campaign promise would be "on day one I will deploy a WPA-scale army of forensic accountants across every square inch of the federal government" and I think about that every day

Warren proposed a bill that would make the PE firms liable for the debts of the companies they control. It really is just common sense

I think Claude Code has achieved AGI

The entrance to the 3-storey bike parking garage at Utrecht Central holding 12,500 bicycles. It’s free for the first 24 hours, linked to the station, and used by tens of thousands every day. This is what happens when a country treats bikes as real transport infrastructure, not an afterthought.

You know, eight hundred years after the War of the One Ring, there would be chin-stroking conservative professors in Middle Earth bemoaning the destruction of the One Ring and writing long articles about how Sauron had a point.

This hack's partner is the hack at vanity fair who hired his best friend who's the hack who was fucking every source she could while cheating on the hack who was her then boyfriend

X has changed their policy and now you can see where the accounts are based. Here’s an “influencer from Texas”

I've been considering a move away from Gmail for quite some time. This might be the nudge I need to finally kick it to the curb.

Why is everyone behind them a college student named Aiden

trump cheerfully and unwittingly driving a stake through every attack line about zohran is the funniest thing I have seen all year

Yes this is a good point, going from Stephen Miller to Mamdani would be like emerging from the sewer in Shawshank

a significant reason Mamdani can get away with this and other Dems can’t is less that he’s charmed Trump and more that he’s charmed you, dear reader, which is why you’re not yelling at him for being a collaborator or an appeaser right now

This is a *critical* lesson of Mamdani’s campaign

Insane but true fact: making US roads as safe as Canadian, Australian, or European roads would save more lives than eliminating murder from the US.

It's extremely bad for left politics that we are apparently incapable of doing the internal hygiene required to keep these vicious bullies from claiming the mantle of "leftism"

The Declaration of Independence asserts that a head of state who levies war on his own people abdicates his office–not by the people’s decree, but by his own actions: “He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.” 6/

This whole NYT account about the weaponization of DOJ is beyond disturbing. Kinda feels like the US government fell in January. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

the nuzzi story is fun and all but at the center of it is the elevation of a man who has dedicated his life to making children catch preventable diseases to a position where he can enact harm at enormous scale

Trump in a room with a very charismatic person results in like half a day of Trump agreeing with everything that person said, so this has the potential to be very, very funny.

they accidentally released an email saying that donald trump gave bill clinton a blowjob last week, i think there's reason for optimism

My stupid galaxy brain continues to be "a foundational problems with the modern American left is that its luminaries are largely entertainers & academics, two groups who not only don't have to pass policy but actually benefit from continued leftist marginal status by retaining their cool cred."

We had to end DEI because it was stealing jobs away from bad white writers who can already afford three story homes in Georgetown and willingly sleep with sources.. we can’t have that

The thing is. Imagine if anyone spoke to you like this in real life. There's approximately a 50% chance you'd punch them in the face. Every day is such an utter fucking disgrace to the presidency.

Hey @mattyglesias.bsky.social any thoughts here

Think of all of the young folks who got picked up by the police with a bag of weed or something and pulled a felony conviction - that's potentially life ruining. Think of foolish young men who think it'll be funny to shoplift a store and get caught. Why should this rich old man be any different?

Antisemitism is a lot like Qanon child abuse conspiracies in that there’s this real and bad phenomenon and, parallel to that, what can only be described as a large scale mass psychosis about a mostly fictional version of the same phenomenon

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

(spending 9 billion dollars to make a robot say "i have always loved you") hard times create strong men

Majorie Taylor Greene is not your friend. No politician is your friend. No permanent friends, just permanent interests. You shouldn’t like her, or even celebrate her—you can cheer the action and not the person. We want to encourage more defections, not kid ourselves about who people are.

Oh my god it's real

"All but gone" sure fucking thing, Sulz.

@mattyglesias.bsky.social how about a post where you do an honest reckoning with Labour's program under Karmer? On the surface, they are more or less exactly following the recommendations of Welcome PAC et al, so why not a thorough exploration of where your approach differs?

@mattyglesias.bsky.social in all seriousness, how about a post where you do an honest reckoning with Labour's program under Karmer?

it is wild that Labour is doing exactly what the reactionary centrists recommend and is absolutely destroying its base of support as a result, and yet reactionary centrists in the US are just utterly silent about the complete failure of their program.

for real tho

"Dasha got dropped by Gersh," I say to the elerly woman sitting next to me on the bus. "Can you believe that?" She empties an entire can of mace directly into my face instantly.

Underrated apocalypse scenario for the GOP: The Obama coalition that slipped to Trump mostly goes back to supporting dems and they keep all their gains in the suburbs.

the scramble for GOP hopefuls to distance themselves from Trump as the ship goes down is going to be crazy and the most important thing to do is sink all the lifeboats none of them are allowed to escape his legacy

Sorry but it's extra funny the NYT is running a glamour profile on RFKs mistress/reporter the day after people were going to the mattresses defending their ethics surrounding the Epstein cover up

WHAT

This is the same administration that has ordered the return of a Confederate monument to Arlington National Cemetery--one which celebrates the "loyal slave" narrative as represented by the images of the "faithful mammy" and a body servant (slave) in Confederate uniform. 🗃️ www.cnn.com/2025/11/13/p...

New: Google has chosen a side in Trump's mass deportation campaign. Google is hosting a CBP facial recognition app to hunt immigrants; no indication Google will remove. At same time Google takes down apps for reporting ICE sightings “Big tech has made their choice” www.404media.co/google-has-c...

this applies to several republican representatives right now and i think it would be very good practice to observe it.

You know what's really pathetic? Journalists and other members of the media who are still helping to cover this up even when they weren't even invited to pedo fuck island themselves. I mean have some fucking self respect

something I've been thinking about if/when we retake power is we're really going to need to shock & awe the elites with accountability. hit em hard and fast. gotta break the entire system and don't give it time to regroup.
